Summary: Background: ADHD is associated with an increased risk of poor mental health during the postpartum period among women. This study aimed to examine the risk of depression and anxiety disorders in women with and without an ADHD diagnosis during the postpartum period. The results showed that women with an ADHD diagnosis had a higher prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders postpartum, indicating that ADHD is an important risk factor for these mental health conditions.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the interactions between college students' depression, anxiety, and Internet addiction and explore how these interactions differ between men and women. The results showed that depression, anxiety, and Internet addiction were positively correlated. Anxiety can predict Internet addiction, and Internet addiction can predict depression. Moreover, anxiety had a significant predictive effect on Internet addiction among men. Therefore, future Internet addiction intervention strategies should focus on the role of anxiety, especially among men.

Summary: The study suggests that Traditional Chinese Exercise (TCE) such as Tai Chi and Qigong may significantly improve depression, anxiety, and drug cravings in drug rehabilitees. Frequency of 3-4 times per week and duration of 12 weeks were associated with the most significant improvements in depression. Further research is needed to confirm these findings using well-designed experimental protocols.

Summary: Recent lifestyle changes have led to increased peer pressure and mental stress, resulting in higher incidences of addiction, depression, and anxiety (ADA). Genetic factors play a significant role in individuals' stress tolerance levels, with vulnerable individuals often turning to drug addiction as a coping mechanism. This systematic review examines the relationship between various genetic factors and the development of ADA, specifically focusing on cocaine abuse. The study identifies 51 genes linked to ADA development, with BDNF, PERIOD2, and SLC6A4 being common to all three aspects of ADA. The findings suggest potential for identifying diagnostic biomarkers and drug targets, as well as developing more effective therapeutic approaches against ADA.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the relationship between negative emotions, sleep quality, perceived stress, stress coping strategies, and suicidal ideation and attempts among high school students. The results showed that girls had higher levels of anxiety, depression, aggression, and insomnia compared to boys, and these negative emotions and insomnia increased the risk of suicidal ideation and attempts. Additionally, a high level of stress was associated with a higher likelihood of suicidal ideation. Girls had significantly higher prevalence of suicidal ideation and attempts.

Summary: The effects of prenatal opioid exposure on emotional and addictive behavior differ between adolescent and adult female rats, with decreased depressive behavior in adolescence but increased in adulthood, and increased sensitivity to low dose morphine-induced activity in adolescence. These effects may be mediated by differential expression of TH and dopamine D1 receptors in the female brain.

Summary: This study analyzed boredom proneness and rumination as mediators between mental health and problematic smartphone use (PSU) severity. The results showed significant relationships between boredom proneness, rumination, smartphone use frequency (SUF), and PSU severity. SUF inversely mediated the relationship between boredom proneness and PSU severity, while positively accounting for the relationship between rumination and PSU levels.

Summary: The present study evaluated the potential medicinal effects of Pinus halepensis Mill. essential oil (PNO) in an Alzheimer's disease (AD) environment. The results showed that PNO has anxiolytic and antidepressant properties and can restore redox imbalance in rats with AD-like neuropsychiatric impairments. Additionally, PNO demonstrated beneficial effects against neuroinflammation and neuroapoptosis in the AD rat model induced by amyloid beta1-42 (A beta 1-42).
